But this favouring strain neglects not Venus: for she has a power over Jove together with Juno: and the nearest to the many-counselled goddess is honoured for her mighty works. But loved companions are present with mother [Venus], and no passion is disobedient to soothing persuasion. But to Harmonia is given a portion of deceiving Venus and the ways of loves.

Nor, Queen of Love, ſhall our mellifluous lays
Be ſilent in thy praiſe:
For thou, next Heav'n's imperial queen,
In highest grace with Jove art ſeen,
And mighty deeds declare thy pow'r:
1125
The paſſions hear thy ſoft controul;
Thy ſweet voice melts the willing ſoul,
Enchanted with thy honied lore.
Round thee, where'er thou lead'ſt the way,
Joyful the frolic Cupids rove;
1130
And as their antic ſports they play,
Whiſper the harmony of love.

Né Cipride trascura la pia nostra preghiera.
Presso a Giove, con Era,
grande è sua possa: onore ha per sue celebri
prove la Diva astuta.
1100
E vicina ha la Brama, e l'altra tenera
figlia, a cui nulla mai non si rifiuta,
Süada allettatrice. Ed Armonia
compagna è pur di Cipride,
degli amor lungo la fallace via.

Potest enim propinquiſsimè Iouis cum Iunone,

Amor nullus negandus est ſpectata

Veneris Harmonia,

Yet not in scorn we chant, but in honour of Aphrodite;
She truly and Hera alone have power with Zeus and control.
Holy the deeds of her rite, her craft is secret and mighty,
And high is her honour on earth, and subtle her sway of the soul.

Doch vergißt auch Aphrodita's der Gesang nicht;
An des Zeus Seite vereint herrscht sie mit Hera,

Und in ehrwürdiger That waltet die tiefsinnige Göttin.

Hesych. θέλεμον ἥσυχον und θελέμως· ἡσύχως. — πολύτεκνοι: Schol. πολυτεκνίας πρόξενοι. Flüsse sind κουροτρόφοι (zu 287), und wenn man πολύτεκνοι in diesem Sinne auffaßt, wird diese Eigen- schaft der argivischen Flüsse her- vorgehoben im Gegensatz zu den 867 ff. gerühmten Vorzügen des Nil. Aber wahrscheinlich ist πολύτεκνοι im Hinblick auf Prom. 142 τῆς πολυτέκνου Τηθύος ἔκγονα von den Bächen und Kanälen zu verstehen, welche die Kinder der Flüsse sind, und auf die reiche Bewässerung des argivischen Landes zu beziehen, die in der Sage auch mit Danaos in Verbindung gebracht wurde. Vgl. Soph. Ο. Κ. 685 οὐδ᾽ ἄυπνοι κρῆναι μινύθουσιν Κηφισοῦ νομάδες ῥεέθρων κτἑ.
